New Delhi (Web Desk):
Can India create its own WhatsApp-level success story? In recent days, an Indian technology company Zoho has stunned the digital world with its new messaging app “Arti.”
The app has gone viral across India, recording a 185-fold surge in downloads within days. For a brief time, Arti even overtook WhatsApp and Telegram to become the No. 1 app on India’s App Store, signaling a new wave of digital self-reliance in the country’s tech ecosystem.
Experts say Arti’s rise reflects India’s growing ambition to develop homegrown digital platforms that prioritize privacy, performance, and innovation.
Zoho, already known for its global software products, claims that Arti ensures end-to-end encryption and data security within India, appealing to users concerned about foreign data control.
While WhatsApp remains dominant with over 500 million Indian users, Arti’s rapid success suggests that Indian-made apps may finally be ready to challenge global tech giants.
